Guide to Save money in New York Sightseeing

New York is one of the top cities in the world and is expensive too. Tourist flow in to this city all round year from all over the world.

If you book your flights and hotel in advance you can end up getting it cheaper but what about sightseeing. Believe me it’s expensive too and if you visit this city and are not be able to see all the tourist attractions then it’s worthless.

There is a way to cover all the attractions without burning a hole in your pocket. Whether you are travelling from any part of US, Europe, Asia etc. The following things will be helpful to see that place at a very cheap rate.

When I was planning my Trip to New York recently, I was browsing my Internet for top attractions in NYC and found out that there are many places to see like the Liberty Statue, Empire State, Madame Tussaud’s, Cruise, Wall Street, 9/11 Memorial and so on, but that doesn’t come cheaper. Every attraction’s entry fee ranges from $20 to $35 each depending on the attraction. When I calculated, I would end up paying $500 + to cover all attractions then I started to look for alternatives and then I stumbled upon this NewYorkPass.

This was like a relief and saved me lots of money and time. You just book it online and collect the pass from the displayed centre in New York or get it shipped at your address. I recommend to get it collected from the City so you can save shipping charges and anyways you will visit the city so you can pick it up. My favourite centre is Big Bus Welcome Center in Times Square New York though you can pick up from any other convince centre. Don’t worry your pass won’t be activated till you use it for the first time. So you can book it in advance and collect it once you land there.

The pass is available for 1 day to 2,3,5 and 7 Days. In this you can avail unlimited Hop on Hop off Rides of the Big Bus Tours which cost $62 for 24 hours and all the fees of attraction are included. So if you buy pass for 1 day thn 1 day’s hop on hop off + attraction and if for 2 days than 2 days hop n hop off and attraction, and it goes on till 7 days.

You might be thinking of buying pass for 1 day and saving money and covering all attractions then its a bad idea because there is so much to see that you can’t cover all attractions in just one day. Specially Liberty Statue and Empire State is over crowded and can consume more than half of your day because of the long ques. So I recommend you to buy a pass for 3 days. In this you can cover all attractions peacefully and save almost 50% of your money.

So simply show your pass at ticket counter and they will verify the pass and give you the ticket of that particular attraction. That’s it, you are good to Go !!!
